Do you love the social aspect of a crochet along? Do you love to crochet all of the holiday items you can? Do you love several different options in just one pattern? If you answered “yes” to any of these, then this crochet along is for you! So what are you waiting for? Read the CAL details below and then join us in the A Crocheted Simplicity Crochet Community group on Facebook for some CAL F-U-N!

Not so sure you’d like to join the CAL? Let me try to twist your arm… keep reading below….

First, a little info about the design!

If you love holiday themed crochet, if you making stockings for your loved ones, if you love several options in one single pattern, then you’ll LOVE this design!

It’s been a year since my last stocking design and I’ve been to design another one. With each new stocking design I try to incorporate a new element. For this one, that element is appliques! Now, you may be intimidated by the thought of crocheting a 3D flower, or tiny mittens, but I assure you they’re some of the easiest things you can make! Even so, I’ve added lots of details and photos to help along the way. 🙂

Silver Jingle Bells (optional): For the stocking with the poinsettia, I added 1/2″ diameter silver bells for a finishing touch. I found my bells on Amazon here: Silver Bells

How big is the stocking? When laid flat, the stockings measure 6-1/2″ across and 18″ L. Plenty big enough for lots of goodies!

Pattern Difficulty: The stocking is very simple and broken down into small steps with measurements given along the way to help keep you on track. There are several photos included for any “tricky spots”.

Tutorials: The pattern includes several photo tutorials, but if you still need a little help, the best part of a CAL is the extra access you have to myself and many other talented crocheters who are all working on the same thing!

Cuff Options: There are 2 different cuff options for this stocking design. First, a short, simple knit-look cuff , and secondly, a wider, textured, fold-over cuff.

Poinsettia Option: The pattern includes instructions for a 3 dimensional poinsettia. I designed this poinsettia to coordinate with my Plush Poinsettia pillow that was designed for Crochet World’s Comfort & Joy issue in 2016.

Mittens Option: Cute little snowflake mittens were designed to hang from ties, instead of yarn poms. They’re SO cute, you LOVE them!!!

Ornaments or Gift Tags: The poinsettia and mittens would make great ornaments or tags you can tie to gifts and add another handmade touch this year!

*Design Sneak Peek*

I realize you can’t see too much, but that’s the whole purpose of a sneak peek. 😉

Why should I join the Crochet Along?

Crochet alongs bring a great sense of community to our craft.

A CAL is the perfect opportunity to meet new friends who share your same passions.

They’re also great opportunities to share your talents with others by helping those in the group who are eager to learn new skills, but may need a little help along the way.

You’ll receive exclusive help from myself as I’ll be there daily to answer any of your questions, should you have any.

Live videos will be posted in the group, if a need arises.

If you’ve never made a stocking before, a crochet along setting is the best place to learn! Come join us and let’s put those fears to rest! 😀

Step 1) Create a project on Ravelry linking to the stocking listing.

How to create a project on Ravelry: Log into your Ravelry account, then go to the Ravelry listing for the stocking (link coming soon!), in the upper right corner you’ll see where it says “add to favorites, hook it, share this” etc.. Click on the little crochet hook and the words ‘hook it!’ (see photo below).

A small box will pop-up (as shown in the photo below). The default name for your project will be Stocking (you can re-name it if you prefer). Once you’re happy with the name, click the ‘create this project’ button.

You’ll then be brought to your project page where you can add photos, notes etc. To edit your project simply click on ‘edit project’ near the upper right of the page (see photo below).

Step 2) Update your project each week by Thursday night at midnight pst with at least 1 photo of the current week’s part. (Example: Week 1, before midnight on November 16th, have your project page updated with a photo of your yarn.)

All those who have updated their projects by the deadline will be put into a random drawing for the current week’s prizes. Winners will be announced in the Facebook group on Fridays.

OMG! How exciting!! This will be so much fun!! I would love to use the Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca, and the Lion Brand Wool Ease for the stocking Thank you Jennifer and Lion brand for the awesome giveaway!

What a great CAL! I’m excited to try this, as I’ve never crocheted a Stocking before. I’d love to try the Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca and the Wool Ease! I’ve never tried an alpaca yarn… it would also be my first time trying a Clover Amour hook!

I would love to win the Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca and Lion Brand Wool Ease. I always love your work. They are simply amazing. I joined last year’s Christmas Stocking CAL. Can’t wait to join again this year.

Christmas time is so much fun! Gift giving is the way to spread the happiness. Thanks for doing that. Purple is my favorite color and Alpacas are one of my favorite animals, so the Touch of Alpaca will have to be my choice.
